Progress pics - 6 weeks until Cardinal!





Wow! It's been a long time since I've had pics taken and I haven't seen my back until today . . . . whoa, very pleased with the progress! Six weeks out until Cardinal Classic in Youngstown!!
I will likely start my "lean out" menu next weekend. So far, so good with the first two meal plans. . . I'm sure the going will be tougher, but now it doesn't seem so far off! Yea!!!

Post race

The day after the race, I got to enjoy my burger and beer at Lake Placid Pub and Brewery. MMMM! I had the 6 - 4oz sampler which was damn good!! We enjoyed Monday and Tuesday at the beach before heading downtown to shop on Tuesday night.

Bill and Conor

Shopping - the boys hated it and I only enjoyed it for the bargains!

Looking out at Mirror Lake from the playground

The Dillinger gang -- Conor bought a rubber band gun with the money he earned washing Debbie's car!

Overlooking the golf course (aka a great cross country route) just before our trip home
